Undoing the Effects of Pregnancy with Breast Lifts

Undoing the Effects of Pregnancy with Breast Lifts

By Michael Reynolds


Breast lift involves lifting and reshaping the bazongas and positioning the nipple/areola to the ideal location on the breast. In plastic surgery the term for this surgery is Mastopexy.Patients may need breast lifts due to a number of factors. These may often include being born with tits that are droopy, breasts that fall after significant weight loss, and likely most generally, torpedos that droop and fall in size after a few children. As a general rule the torpedos get even more droopy and smaller with each pregnancy the ma has. The doctor's term for bending is ptosis.

The pleasant news is that there are some glorious procedures that may reverse these changes and create lovely breasts. This correction may potentially involve merely a breast lift alone or a breast lift mixed with a breast enlargement.

Who are applicants? The patient alone can determine if their knockers position or shape is a problem for them and wish to improve or change the final shape and contour. The degree of breast lifting can be reasonably minor or involve heavy re-contouring. The breast augmentation is mostly done with a Mastopexy in order to make up for lost volume, in fact most women who have lost volume (their knockers became smaller) choose to have their breasts augmented to a size that might be larger than the size they initially were, before they were pregnant.

Depending on the degree of breast sagging there are a selection of breast lift MD systems that may be adapted to what it is the patient's looking to achieve and what their present breast shape needs. The lift may very well involve only incisions around the areola (this is known as a circumareolar Mastopexy). This works really well for knockers that need minimum lifting.

The most typical process that I perform involves an incision that goes around the areola and then straight down to the inframammary fold. Some call this a lollypop Mastopexy, as the cuts and scars look like that of a lollypop (the actual name for this operation is a circumvertical Mastopexy). The Mastopexy that's important to correct the best degree of sagging is referred to as a full Mastopexy, which involves incisions round the areola, down to the inframammary fold, and then along the inframammary crease.

Obviously a seasoned Plastic Surgeon will use the most simple methodology that will allow the required enhancements. In my practice, in which I have done over fourteen-hundred breast lifts, I always am trying to find the surgery that will allow the best result with the least amount of scars.

If breast augmentation is done at the same time, it is critical that the breast enlargement be done first. This is down to the fact that the degree of breast lifting and skin resection will be modified by the breasts being made larger. In addition, it is nearly not possible in most patients, to determine the right size of the implant for the boob enlargement, due to the fact that the breasts are drooping and do not exactingly show the scale of the breast. This is because the breast implant and the breast tissue are not in the same place.

Not all San Diego Plastic Surgeons perform the surgery in the fashion I do. I'm confident however that in my hands this gives the best result. The surgery is done with a pocket made for the boob enlargement made and an implant sizer placed in the pocket. At this point the skin is stapled together in a fashion that approximates the degree and type of breast lift that'll be done. Then the patient is set up by means of raising the back of the operating room table. My nurses and I examine the patient in regards to boob size, the degree of lift, and the expected position of the nipple. In this way not only can the correct size of the implant be determined. At the very same time, the breast lift and the degree of skin resection can also be properly evaluated without burning any bridges. Once the right size and the correct degree of breast lift with perfect nipple positioning is determined, the tacking staples are removed after carefully marking the staple positions. The breast augmentation is then completed with the right size implant and the permanent implant placed. Then, following the marks of the tacking staples, the breast lift is then performed.
